 Rabbi Yona Reiss Av Beth Din, Chicago Rabbinical Council - 

"The Hinda lnstitute is an important organization, worthy of our community's support. As we enter into the Teshuva season, it is important to remember that our Torah tradition teaches us that people should have a chance to rehabilitate themselves and rectify past mistakes. lt is especially important not to "throw a stone after the fallen' (see Kiddushin 20b) and thus to enable incarcerated individuals and their families to recover from their challenges in order to lead normal, productive lives- Rabbi and Rebbetzin Scheiman, through the Hinda lnstitute, are engaged in vital and sacred work for the sake of Heaven."
